Articles about John Edrich
Profile:
One of the Norfolk Edriches, cousin of Bill Edrich, John Edrich
was a neat compact left-handed opening bat for Surrey and
England. Particularly strong off his legs, but a good cutter and
cover driver, his greatest asset was an unwavering
concentration- he never sold his wicket cheaply. Scorer of a
hundred first-class centuries, he made an immediate impact with
a hundred in each innings of his second championship match. He
captained Surrey for five seasons, and England once, when Mike
Denness dropped himself on the 1974-75 tour of Australia.
England lost that match, but Edrich played an immensely brave
innings of 33* in 150 minutes with ribs broken by Denis Lillee's
first ball to him. He is one of the few players with a test
triple hundred, made against New Zealand in 1965. He was a solid
fielder in the gulley, and tidy elsewhere. He was awarded the
MBE for services to cricket in 1977 (Dave Liverman, 1998).
